The default match should be the first one in the list (except the
category header)

[ Actions    (3)]
  [ Execute killall kamstrup ]   <-- this one should be highlighted
  [ Foo bar baz ]

I suggest using stock gtk colors when highlighting, for the header and
for the default match, that way this reflects he theme colors and is
more accessible, for example with high contrast theme.

When typing the focus should stay in the entry field.
When hitting the down key focus should be passed to the P.
When hitting the up key in the first P. line, it should come to the end
of the P. and vice versa.

There is no coming back the the field after hitting down (this is the
GtkEntryCompletion Behavior)

I see one minor annoyance, should the header rows be selectable ?
Yes if we want them to be expandable with the keyboard.
No if we want to avoid pressing twice down to get to the first result
(once to get to the header, a second one to get the the first match
inside)

Last night on IRC we agreed on the following:
Expand all by default, and remember which ones are closed

When the above is done we can merge, and see if the points below are
problems, and we can do a 0.10 release.
